CHRIS HANSEN BOUGHT ADS TO HECKLE THE MOVIE ABOUT CHRIS HANSEN
A24 released Primetime on September 25 with Robert Pattinson playing Chris Hansen in a dramatization of the To Catch a Predator years. Hansen was never consulted, so he solved the problem the way a man with a streaming service solves problems. He bought preshow ad time on 3,500 screens. Before the movie about Hansen starts, the real Hansen walks into a kitchen, tells the theater to have a seat, and sends everyone to TruBlu, his own network. He is counterprogramming a film about himself with himself. He skipped the early screening because A24 wanted an NDA signed, which meant buying a ticket at a Times Square theater like a regular customer, then interviewing moviegoers on the sidewalk afterward for footage. The review ran on his podcast, Have a Seat. He said 98% of the movie was pure fiction, complained about the green hue on Pattinson's face, said the character looks like he's having a mental breakdown, and called a shirtless mirror scene absurd. He gave the performance a D, then defended the grade by pointing out he's the only guy whose opinion counts on this one. He keeps calling Pattinson talented and gracious throughout all of it. Pattinson has said he hopes the film adds to Hansen's legacy. It has added something.

RIYADH'S AIRPORT HIT IN DEADLY STRIKE ON SAUDI SOIL
A missile hit a terminal at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport on Saturday, killing at least 12 people and wounding 309, some critically. The dead included four Saudis, two Bangladeshis, and one person each from the US, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Sudan. An Indian national wounded in the strike died the next day. It was the deadliest attack on Saudi soil in more than a decade, and the third missile aimed at that one airport in a single week. The Saudi-led coalition called it a full-fledged war crime and promised a decisive response. About a day later, another projectile set Terminal 4 on fire. Air defenses did intercept a cruise missile near the airport, right after the terminal was already burning. The airport shut down and more than 600 flights got cancelled. The Houthis claimed the attacks and framed them as payback for the Saudi air campaign, saying Saudi warplanes flew 124 strikes in 24 hours and killed women and children. So the group that just put a missile into a departures hall is building its case on dead civilians. Everybody in this war has a spokesman and nobody has an off switch. Trump, who spent months waving off Saudi requests for direct US involvement, now says he's considering joining strikes in Yemen.
NASA FLEW FOUR ASTRONAUTS TO THE MOON AND THEY CAME BACK CALLING IT JAUNDICED
The moon is gray. That has been the arrangement since 1969. Then NASA released a 130-page Artemis II Preliminary Lunar Science Report, and the four people who got closest to the thing since 1972 described something closer to a bruise. Christina Koch stared at the Aristarchus Plateau, called it a yellow snow-capped mountain, then went further and labeled it "a jaundiced cheek of the Moon." Over the Orientale Basin she clocked the outermost ring as having almost swamp-like colors. Victor Glover, busy photographing, offered "there are so many colors now" and flagged green and brown around Aristarchus. Reid Wiseman went with brownish-green glass. These four spent more than two years training to observe and describe lunar geology, visiting craters on Earth and running simulated flybys, and the vocabulary that came out was swamp, jaundice and glass. It is still real science. The report ties the colors to mineralogy, with orange hues pointing to titanium-rich glass beads and green to magnesium-rich deposits, the same material Apollo 15 and 17 brought home. The full archive went public on Oct. 7: more than 800 gigabytes, around 11,000 images, and 8.5 hours of crew audio. Three of them also caught five faint flashes on the surface, which scientists later assessed as rocky fragments hitting the moon while they watched.
MIAMI MAN CHANGES INTO AMAZON ICE COSTUME, COLLECTS FELONIES
Danilo Alves Silva, 46, of Port St. Lucie, voted in Brazil's presidential election at Miami Dade College's Kendall Campus on Sunday while wearing a Brazilian jersey. Then he walked out to his car and changed into a blue ICE raid jacket, an ICE hat, sunglasses, a camo face mask and tactical boots, all of it purchased on Amazon. He finished the look with a handheld radio that he used to call in his own position. He told detectives he wanted to see people's reactions. He got them. The arrest report says voters were clearly in fear that an actual ICE agent was working their election and might start deporting people. The part Silva did not plan for is that the campus was already full of Miami-Dade deputies and plainclothes Homeland Security Bureau detectives running security. They followed him between the two voting buildings for the entire performance. A voter and a guy with a camera confronted him, Silva got aggressive, and the detectives moved in. He admitted he was not a federal agent, could not produce ID, and explained that no law stops a man from dressing as ICE at a polling site. In the patrol car he threatened the detective, then offered to pay him. He's charged with voter intimidation, unlawful use of a police badge, and conspiracy to commit bribery, which is a bold charge for a one-man operation. A public defender entered a not guilty plea. Right-leaning coverage filed this under Florida Man in a costume. Left-leaning coverage filed it under voter intimidation. The arrest report supports both.
COMMANDERS TIE THE GIANTS WITHOUT EVER ATTEMPTING THE 42-YARD KICK THAT WOULD HAVE WON IT
Washington had the ball at the Giants 24 with 12 seconds left in overtime, no timeouts, and a 42-yard field goal sitting there for the win. Jayden Daniels dropped back on second-and-8, found nobody, tucked it and went down for no gain with about eight seconds showing. The Commanders scrambled up to the line to spike it. The clock got there first. Dan Quinn ripped off his headset. The ugly part is Washington never needed another yard, because the next score ended the game, so Drew Stevens could have kicked it on second down and everybody goes home happy. Daniels was otherwise excellent in his first game back from dislocating his left elbow for the second time this season, running for 103 yards and two touchdowns with a brace on the arm. He also helped build a 27-13 fourth-quarter lead that the defense handed right back, with Jameis Winston throwing for 326 yards and three scores and Malik Nabers tying it with 1:43 to play. Nobody earned this one. Giants kicker Dominic Zvada went 2 for 5. Quinn said the tie feels like a loss and called it his responsibility and no one else's. Daniels said ultimately it's on him. Terry McLaurin went with "unacceptable." Part-owner Magic Johnson posted that he was in total disbelief.
